The Doors - Not To Touch The Earth (Lyric Video) 🔔 Subscribe to TheDoorsHQ channel: https://bit.ly/4hDhEpO The Doors remain one of the most influential American rock bands, defined by their confrontational performance style and poetic lyrical depth. Formed in Los Angeles in 1965, the group emerged from the intersection of the city’s burgeoning counterculture and the dark undercurrents of the 1960s music scene. The classic lineup featured Jim Morrison (vocals), Ray Manzarek (keyboards), Robby Krieger (guitar), and John Densmore (drums). Since their inception, the band has sold over 100 million records worldwide, maintaining a consistent presence on global charts and earning multiple gold and platinum certifications. The band’s sound centers on Manzarek’s organ-driven melodies, Krieger’s flamenco-influenced guitar work, and Morrison’s baritone delivery. They rejected the traditional bass player role in favor of keyboard bass lines, a decision that gave their arrangements a distinct, hollow, and haunting quality. This approach helped define the psychedelic rock movement, setting a blueprint for alternative and gothic rock decades later. Their discography, including landmark albums like The Doors and *Waiting for the Sun*, continues to hold significant cultural weight, influencing generations of musicians through their exploration of complex, often challenging, themes. This lyric video presents the track "Not To Touch The Earth," a centerpiece of the band’s third studio album, *Waiting for the Sun*. Originally conceived as part of Morrison’s larger "Celebration of the Lizard" suite, the song captures the band’s penchant for surreal imagery and rhythmic tension. Its legacy persists through its frequent inclusion in critical retrospectives and its status as a staple for long-time listeners.

Not to touch the earth Not to see the sun Nothing left to do, but run, run, run Let's run Let's run House upon the hill Moon is lying still Shadows of the trees Witnessing the wild breeze Come on baby, run with me Let's run Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run The mansion is warm at the top of the hill Rich are the rooms and the comforts there Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs And you won't know a thing 'till you get inside Dead president's corpse in the driver's car The engine runs on glue and tar Come on along, not goin' very far To the East to meet the Czar Run with me Run with me Run with me Let's run Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake The minister's daughter's in love with the snake Who lives in a well by the side of the road Wake up, girl, we're almost home Yeah, c'mon! We should see the gates by mornin' We should be inside the evenin' Sun, sun, sun Burn, burn, burn Soon, soon, soon Moon, moon, moon I will get you Soon Soon Soon I am the Lizard King I can do anything #TheDoors #PsychedelicRock #LyricVideo #ClassicRock
